Can't we talk about Sony products w/o babbling about Xbox? (and visa versa)

Every thread about anything sub related is just now a subscription war thread.

In an ideal world, yes. But here, where the supposed official game pass thread had to have 50 posts deleted from the same couple of users who keep bringing it up here, it's a tall ask my friend.

Godspeed !

In the ideal world there would be no need to talk about Xbox or Gamepass.

There is no war to be had, Xbox doesn't compete with PlayStation and Gamepass clearly can't compete with PS+.

Shortages have artificially given the Xbox a second wind but as always it will go nowhere and the cracks are already starting to show, their main product, Gamepass look like crap in comparison to PS+. At some point it will become too obvious even for those in denial.

Difference in install base. Xbox is actually massively outperforming PS when you take install base into account.
The exact opposite is true, actually.
  • Xbox = 50-60 million
  • PC = ~120 million
  • xCloud users = 500 million
  • Total GP install base = 670+ million users
  • GP subscribers = 25 million
  • Attach rate = 3.73% (lol)
On the other hand, PS+ has an attach rate of 41%. (120 million PS users and 50 million PS+ subs).

Not comparing with anything else but still calling it "last place".

Very genuine post, will read again.
  1. PS+ (~50 million)
  2. Nintendo Online (32 million)
  3. Gamepass (25 million) with the highest possible install base and the lowest attach rate (~3.73%).
Now, back to my question, why do you think "the best deal in gaming" is in the last position? 😛

What in the world is this bullshit logic loophole 😂

Including 120 million PCs for game pass but not for PS+ ?

jesus christ you guys are SOMETHING 🤣

fucking lol man :ROFLMAO:

You're a great joke-character Heisenberg. This is just *chef's kiss* level of comedy.

You still haven't given me the answer to my actual question though (Why is the best deal in gaming in the last position) 😄 You think these deflections work but they don't. Everybody can see what you guys do to deflect 🤣

Please sort out your math first 🤣

Earlier you said you're not talking about it in reference to other services, so what is it in the last place in comparison to anyway, that's still a mystery 🤷‍♂️

But please, sort out your math before anything else.

Haha okay. Let's do it your way then.

1. PS+ has 50 million subs.
2. Nintendo Online has 33 million subs.
3. Gamepass has only 25 million subs.

If Gamepass is the "best deal in gaming" why is it limping behind in the last position?

PS+ includes all the tiers, so you have to include all the Xbox tiers too. Gamepass has 25 million and XLG has 16 million (estimate by Ampere). Massively overperforming both Playstation and Nintendo when accounting for the install bases. The best deal in gaming is easily number 1 already and it will only keep growing.

So now we're fudging numbers? 😄

Give me the official data on XBLG (non-GP) users, and I'll concede.

Btw, even adding both (conveniently ignoring the overlap), it is still behind PS+ so not definitely not "number 1 already". Why is that? 😄

It's an estimate from the top analytics firm for gaming. Acting like the numbers must be wildly wrong is cope.

You're the one fudging numbers by ignoring that XLG exists, btw.

There is no overlap in those numbers. And it's not behind PS+ when you account for the install base.

Dude you can’t be including ps plus essential and ignore Xbox live. Like what?

You should in fact be ignoring the essential tier altogether and just comparing Extra to Gamespass.

Otherwise the comparisons are nonsense.

We know that XBL has over 100 million MAU. MS doesn't release specific numbers, so even if only one quarter of those 100 MAU are Gold subscribers, and that's putting it a very generously low number to compensate, that would still put GP + XBLG at over 50 million.

This is one case where MS not releasing official numbers is to their detriment lol. But it is what it is.

There is no overlap? You can literally upgrade from XBLG to GPU $1. And GPU also includes XBLG, so a GPU user is being counted as a GPU subscriber as well as a XBLG user.

And if that's not data inflation, idk what it is lol.

And if you add 25+16, that's 41 million. PS+ has almost 50 million.

50 > 41.

NSO having more subs than FlopPass is priceless tbh.

Nope. Ampere counts GPU+GP as 25m, and XLG seperatly as 16m.
And if you add 25+16, that's 41 million. PS+ has almost 50 million.

50 is indeed bigger than 41. Xbox is still massively overperforming, or Playstation is underperforming, however you want to frame it.

Adamsapple is sad because the GP attach rate is abysmal when considering the reach. GP has the biggest user base potential and it's dead last. Poor MS.
